Kiwa Mentoring Registrations 2026 - National
E tipu e rea mo ngā rā o tō ao
Ko tō ringa ki ngā rākau ā te Pākehā Hei oranga mō tō tinana
Ko tō ngākau ki ngā tāonga a ō tīpuna Hei tikitiki mō tō māhuna
Ko tō wairua ki tō Atua, Nānā nei ngā mea katoa
Grow up and thrive for the days destined to you.
Your hands to the tools of the Pākehā to provide physical sustenance,
Your heart to the treasures of your ancestors as a diadem for your brow,
Your soul to your God, to whom all things belong.
Kia ora, talofa, mālō e lelei, bula, kia orāna, Fakalofa lahi atu, mālo ni, namaste!
The KPMG Kiwa programme is a mentoring initiative for Māori and Pasifika university students. The aim of our mentoring programme is to develop your potential - by building confidence and knowledge while exposing one to corporate spaces.
If you are Māori or Pasifika, currently studying at tertiary level in New Zealand, interested in a career in the corporate sector and looking to gain skills and confidence to get through any recruitment programme - this is for you!
The programme runs through second semester of 2026, where you are matched with a member of the KPMG whānau and attend a range of workshops and networking events. Our programmes are run out of these KPMG offices; Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, and Hamilton.
Kiwa Mentoring includes one-on-one mentoring alongside workshops designed to grow your skills and confidence, enabling you to:
- Understand your “why” and how your personality shapes how you show up
- Build a strong CV and confidently communicate your skills in interviews
- Explore career pathways and see how your interests align with different roles
- Gain insight into Māori and Pasifika experiences in corporate environments
- Apply your learning in a practical, real-world assessment setting
